Hey there, I'm new to this forum, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on some of my medical conditions. So I currently have anemia which is disqualifying, but it's under control with iron supplements. I also have Graves' disease hyperthyroidism (also under control with medication). According to the appendix of disqualifying conditions on USNA's website, any history of hyperthyroidism is a disqualification. I am looking into radioactive iodine ablation to make me hypothyroid or possibly even a thyroidectomy. Since hypothyroidism is not disqualifying as long as it is under control, will this be okay? And as long as I'm here, I'm also have a food intolerance (not allergy), does DODMERB care about that? Do you think I can get into the Academy with two conditions? Thanks!
